PBS Forum

As I say (usually about the mail list), somewhere in the system there is a max size for photos. However much people may not know or want to know about it. I am looking at a new phone, cheap and cheerful, 48Mpix camera.

Anyway there are some interesting config options for SMF - lets you set a max upload size - which has to be more graceful than the thing dumping everything with no explanation.

The two lots of options PHP and SMF have to be compatible. Interesting that we have not hit this limit with the wiki - but I never use image upload with that.

I also observe SMF seems to be set to 40MB for all uploads combined, which we will hit soon.

This is where the options are:

In /etc/apache2/php/7.2/php.ini

upload_max_filesize was 32M

post_max_size was 8M

I have changed post_max_size to 32M and rebooted Apache.

Looking at the log files is good fun - probly there are some bugs I should fix. But most of the contents are driven by hackers - every few seconds someone tries to log in to our word press installation. Anyway I found this:

OK, I feared they might. Those logs are not easy for me to access either - I often end up setting them to 777 permissions. I will try to look later...

Hi Martin, thing would be do a crash and look at the Apache/PHP log file to see what happened. You can look now, but best if you know the time when the crash happened.

Martin - good ideas. It reminded me that there are commands to set the max amount of core for PHP to use. At one time we had that in a .htaccess file. Seems to not be there now, at least in the main one.

Yes the photos are still downloading instead of expanding.

You're thinking, old bloke, anger management issues, flip phone. The phone is actually six years old. Didn't seem that old, but CoVid has passed another year by.

I tried my photoswipe pages, and photoswipe did not load. Phone too old.

Getting the red mist out of the way, I am saying that four photos, and small ones (it's an old phone) won't upload, and if you try there is some sort of crash. Possibly I could look in the PHP error log.

So I tried living my life on my phone. Mired in a sea of missing passwords. Eventually I got to posting to this forum, to upload files I was told I needed an upgrade, and Google/Android update told me the phone was no longer supported. Which was fine since I was going to stamp on the phone and throw it away anyway.

We went to the vaccination centre today, and I saw these blue primroses.

I've been told there is a devil set aside for anyone who posts shrub photos to the PBS, so there's a Forsythia to conclude with.

Wait there's more, having painstakingly typed all this in and selected the photos, post resulted in a new message screen and no post. Seems this was about the time Gastil posted.

Won't get fooled again, I'll copy my text before posting.

Yep, it happened again. Chucks away the post. I'll now post without the photos.

Let's have everyone post their browsers

Chrome on Windows 10, and Chrome on Ubuntu.

I have a Mac I could try on that.

Wikipedia says marmalade comes from Portuguese for quince. Interesting discussion. Things I never knew. Hard to believe you could have orange marmalade that did not set - usually lots of pectin about. Maybe we could debate the meaning of jelly/jello/jam.

Is the crocus photo (between some text and some more text) done with an img tag and url to david's TEG site or with an uploaded/attached image?

It was done with the new insert button next to image upload. Inline thumbnails on this page are now working correctly for me. Progress...

hover over images will probably show how they're done

click on traditional end of message uploads is still doing download. I notice they are now in a row rather than as previously a column.

Ah but, click on thumbnail does download...

Martin - that is a big improvement
